ESP 30th Anniversary 1

[TXGxTheChosenX]

The legend, The new guy, The veteran, Yngwie malmsteen and Steve Vai's asian love child.

[OperationEndGame]

Only if Akio Shimizu was still with ESP.......

[ScreamForWouter]

Takayoshi! <3

[ZelgadissGreywords]

When I see something like that, I really wonder - where's all the 80's metal? There is plenty of guys, who can play fast and sexy, but noone seems to care.

[spike4379]

george lynch should be shredding with some higher ups.... i know its and esp show but bring out VAI or guthrie govan

[guitarnub3]

great video. i really didn't feel like gus brought anything to the table.lynch and takayoshi were great. syu was awesome. but gus didn't really impress me.

[sarnemann]

wowzers

[WarheartHC]

i just miss Alexi laiho and Roope latvala in thinks like this,

[Yumypop]

am I blind or did Syu just play on a guitar by Ephiphone ? He's got guts playing on that on ESP's anniversary XD

[Janttero]

@Yumypop

yes you are blind :) it's an ESP edwards

[b4rf3r]

george lynch was good here especially around 0:40

[FinalFreedomEclipse]

Takayoshi tone sounds terrible, but i suppose thats due to him being on single coils.

[Shoji86]

@FinalFreedomEclipse Sadly no thats just takayoshi's tone lol. It's gotten better recently though haha

[SamvoltS]

i'm sure they feel honored to shred near the legend George Lynch

[maximixi123]

GUS G!

[ragnaros9]

Lynch looks like rambo

[overlex]

@ragnaros9

Lynch IS Rambo, see him shred lmao

[spike4379]

@overlex fuck yes to lynch looking like rambo, imagine if he had those hands around someones head while hes angry!

[FMV89]

Lynch looks like a goddamn caveman lol, but a good guitarist nonetheless

[prenton11]

lynch is such a cocky bastard! thats the worst thing in a guitarist. syu, takayoshi and gus did a klass job.

[ragnaros9]

Definitely syu and takayoshi, they have a way better level of alternate picking and sweep picking

[Billerd21]

george is definatly the best takoshi blows chode.  also tacoishys tone is pure shit

[Lynchman66]

Lynch shredded them all

[zangetsu9915]

george didn't even compare to gus g, takayoshi, and syu those three dominated

[Reoreyh]

Now I'm a Syu fanboy, and I love Takayoshi, but George has some sick pinch vibrato, and they come out of nowhere. Syu and Ohmura have to set up for theirs. I'd say he kept up very well.

[TheBlack669]

syu and takayoshi are the best... and lynch i think that he looks more like rambo and rocky balboa jeje XD

[kaxyla37]

takayoshi is playing the same over and over!!

[Janttero]

They are all good guitarists... But lynch looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger in this video :D

[RedSkyWhisper]

WHy always judging guitarists about who is better than who? I think they've reached the level you can they say they're all really good and can't compare them with each other.

[ferlynch]

i ve heard thousands of players sound alike the 2 japanesse guys, they are good but cliche, altough the guy with the black guitar sounds better... BUT LYNCH is the most amazing guitar player i ve known, try to sound like him... i think is kinda difficult..

[kaxyla37]

Syu an gus g. were the best players but syu should use other clothes.

[andre71mxn]

haha syu and takayoshi raped! =)

[tsangboy]

i know this is random...but a guitar with one pick up is so ugly

[hacksai]

yea i think so too

[TheGuitarTheory]

I think Gus G was the cleanest out of all of them

[MaestroJericho]

comparing a legend to newer generations is not exactly fair... lynch pretty much influenced the 80s sound here

[MaestroJericho]

lol at the kids not knowing lynch, lynch is an original shredder who played with rand rhoads... research kids...

[danophile07]

i love japanese metal players, people like the 2 here, and most might knwo of the god akira takasaki!, they all have just soemthign very unique about theyre playing

[FMV89]

Syu was like, ok motherfuckers this is how its done

[Franciscso]

takayoshi an syu are the best

the rest suck xD

[ferdk16]

Syu owned the hell out of this jam IMO, btw, who's this George Lynch? c'mon!!! it's like it was the first time in his life with a guitar!!! i don't like to offend people, but i can't find another word than Crap to fit his playin

[ShredmastaMike]

if i had to pick, I'd say ohmura sounded best, but I loved Syu and Gus's tone. I dunno, George Lynch just didn't impress me as much as the others

[zebowee]

I didn't know Lou Ferrigno played guitar.

[Sonick92]

Gus G has an ear for playing Guitar.......Hence The Guitar Wizard is his nickname.

[deepsofhell]

Lynch at least can defeat all them in a arm wrestling mach.

[azazael07]

YAWN!!!...

Lynch owns them all here though.

[dohboiii]

are u kidddding mee... Lynch is the worst guitarist ever

[supermarisol]

yeah, lynch sucks, obviusly he can play the guitar, but he sucks :P

[BGwarlock]

hehe! technically takayoshi is the best on this vid :P

aint really showed on this vid 2 much tho. ohmura and syu r the best on this vid howeva. surprised at how good gus is tho. but i must say... george lynch! wat the heck... how lame :P was xpectin so much more. i checkd out sum other vids 2, he's so sloppy! good vid tho! :D

[Gianfrancoco]

Can you tell me names of these guitarists? I know the one in red is Syu, but who are the others?

[guren99]

From the left, it is Syu/Gus G./George Lynch/Takayoshi Ohmura.

[Gianfrancoco]

Thanks!

Man, I can't believe I had not notice that was Ohmura on the far right, haha! Oh, and I had always heard people talking about George Lynch, but this is actually the first time I hear him play, and I like it. He has a great sound. Gus ain't bad either.
